Making progress on gun violence prevention isn’t inevitable, but inaction is unacceptable. We’ve seen too many sons and daughters, moms and dads, family members and friends taken by avoidable gun violence in this country. We need bold action to stop the scourge of senseless gun violence and protect our communities here in New Jersey. That’s why I’ve worked in Congress to:
- Help pass the biggest common-sense gun safety reforms into law in more than a decade by voting for the bipartisan Safer Communities Act that will close loopholes, enact new gun violence prevention programs, and invest in school and community safety.
- Treat gun violence as a national security threat by cosponsoring the Assault Weapons Ban, to get weapons of war off our streets and joining the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force to work on protecting our communities.
- Be an original co-sponsor of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, which would enact common-sense background check requirements, supported by 91% of Americans.
Schools, places of worship, movies, the grocery store, offices, and any public space should be safe for every American. We can’t keep our communities safe from gun violence if we don’t step up, come together, and work with each other to make the reforms we want to see a reality.
